It has the word "GREETINGS" along the bottom edge with two persons kissing over a wrapped present and a silhouette of the couple and the word "X / MAS" above them. The entire seal is gold in color. Below are the words "Metal / Seals" in green ink. On the reverse are, also in green ink, the words "10 SEALS / MOISTEN LIGHTLY / ALLOW GLUE TO BECOME TACKY / THEN APPLY / THE ANGELL EMBOSSING CO. / DAYTON, OHIO."
